It's a mostly Halloweeny weekend coming up, with events from breakfasts to haunted house tours, Poe poetry readings to costume parties. Look for our big listing of Halloween Happenings at recordonline.com and in print in tomorrow's Go! magazine. Here are some of the highlights and a few other great things to do this weekend.

The 8th Orange County Jewish Film Festival continues at 8 p.m. Saturday with "The Tenth Man," a low-key romantic comedy. The film pivots on a middle-aged guy returning to his roots in Jewish Buenos Aires, Argentina, and ultimately finding himself, refuting the notion that you can't go home again. $10 per adult; children 14 and under, free. Monroe Theater, 34 Millpond Parkway.

Head over to Port Jervis on Sunday for the city’s time-honored Halloween parade. This year marks the 70th annual event. Line up at 3 p.m. on Hammond Street in front of City Hall. Parade ends at Farnum Park, with prizes, cider and doughnuts. Adults, children and pets are welcome to join in the costume fun. 858-4045.

Take a walk on the spooky side Sunday with an audience-participation murder mystery wrapped in a dinner theater event to benefit the programs of the Greater Liberty Chamber of Commerce. The curtain rises for “Polter-Heist” at 5 p.m. in the Main Dining Room of the Liberty Diner, 25 Sullivan St.. $45 for non-members, $40 for members. Reserve at 292-9797. Seating is limited.

Marianna Boncek will talk about her book, “Gone Missing in New York,” at 2 p.m. Sunday at Time and the Valleys Museum, Route 55, Grahamsville. Hundreds of New Yorkers disappear every year under mysterious circumstances never to be heard from again. Boncek will focus on those missing from Sullivan County and nearby, and give tips on how to keep families safe. $3 for non-members, free for members. 985-7700.
